SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire! Sheesh, this place is getting emptier than a money-lenders
heart in here. Are we really down to 12 teams? I am only counting 4 teams that were
here on turn 1 of this arena, which at 400+ is impressive. But, it is the other empty
seats that have me concerned. Where did everyone go? Oh well, send a pigeon to a
friend and invite them to Shadowspire, or invite some of the oldies to return and get
their teeth kicked in - just like old times!
So, the title fight . . . boys and girls, we had a doozy of one today! Bonnie Parker
entered the turn as our Duelmaster. I know Heroes & Villains was quite proud of her
for reaching the throne in less than 20 fights. She posted a challenge to Shirley
Jackson or Literate Loons fame. We were looking forward to a throwdown between these
two ladies, and what a fight it was! When it was all over, one warrior lay dead on
the sands, and we had a new Duelmaster. You read that right! Shirley Jackson
executed the previous Duelmaster to take the highest arena honor AND to receive an
invitation to the Isle of the Eye. If there is going to be any revenge, Heroes &
Villains must act quickly before Shirley bids us farewell. Congrats to Shirley
Jackson, who is managed by Sherman.
The most avoided team for turn 413 is NBA Legends. They were mostly avoided by Clan
Longbeard. Literate Loons seems to be on everyone's lips today, so let's continue that
trend with today's most challenged warrior - Raymond Carver. Raymond is our most
challenged today, and he faced Jihl Blazefury of Big Lake Solution. Jihl was brave
and challenged up 21 points, but she lost in a 6-minute fight.
Today's BY THE NUMBERS is brought you, as always, by Otto's Diner, who would like to
say, "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!"
Fights: 33
Challenges: 9
Dark Arena Fights: 5
Non-DA Deaths: 4
Largest Up-Challenge: +21 points (I've included this one because I mentioned the
other 21-point up challenge above) - LAUDINA (81-3658) (14-14-2,69) of MADNESS
challenged HAKEEM (81-2521) (21-23-4,90) of NBA LEGENDS. LAUDINA savagely
defeated HAKEEM in a 1-minute veteran's Challenge struggle.
Largest Down Challenge: -20 points - OTTO'S BUSBOY (81-3775) (4-4-0,27) of BIG
LAKE SOLUTION challenged OTTO'S JANITOR (81-3779) (1-4-0,7) of CULT OF BACCHUS.
OTTO'S BUSBOY devastated OTTO'S JANITOR in a 1-minute mismatched Challenge
conflict.
Time for me to get out of here. This is starting to bore me. No, no, it isn't you.
You know what? It is about 99% you. There is a tankard somewhere with my name on it.
Whoever took it can leave it by the press box, no questions asked! Until then, I'm
going to head down to Otto's and see what new wonders the Cult of Bacchus crew has
dropped off for my tasting pleasure. See you bums next turn!
